abkeenan Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Just wondering what you guys think and whether you use either green tinted line or clear line.
Guest csfishinfool Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I usually use clear line, it easier for my eye to pick it up and detect bites. If im throwing spinner baits, or a shallow crank I like to use green Trilene big game. I throw my jigs on 15lb floro and get just as many bites as anyone. Ill step it up to twenty if im throwing to dock wells with hoists in them.
Wayne SW/MO Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I always found that size was the important factor. While #6 used to be necessary it seems that one can go up a notch now due to pollution. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
denjac Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 After throwing A Rigs last winter in gin clear water, I am beggining to think it doesnt matter as far as what the fish see or doent see.

Wayne SW/MO Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 it does make difference, IMO, on whether or not the bait is moving and how fast. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
motoman Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Agreed; Rapidly moving baits I don't think it matters as Much......slow moving baits like worms or jigs; that I actually deadstick occasionally.....I think it matters. But I've used green mono/fluoro and clear in equal size with little to no difference.
Members JerryK Posted August 23, 2012 Members Posted August 23, 2012 I had a pro who was giving a seminar at Bass Pro tell me he always used lo vis green. I switched to that and feel it has helped me catch fish.
exiledguide Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I use hi vis Trilene when fishing worms, jigs or grubs so I can see the line it doesn'tseem to hurt my fishing. I've been fishing Hi Vis since it came out a long time ago and I have fished clear water streams from NW Ontario down through the Mid south and it catches me fish. I don't use it on moving I usualy use green mono. I really think you should use the line that you are comfortable with. I've also used it for trout in trout areas caught fish there also.
Ron Burgundy Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Green line it blends in the with nasty water thats in TR...ha.....offended many I'm sure but I couldn't resisit. Gone but not forgotten Martin Ford
balsabee Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I use Trilene XT and Big Game in green. I think it makes a big difference and I used to always throw clear.
